Charlotte's premier paintball scenario "non-team" because we play without the egos, issues and baggage that a lot of regular teams bring to the party. We don't have a reputation to defend, so if we get beat and we had a great time, it's all good. If we win and had a great time, it's even better. For us it's about the integrity, practicing our skills, and most importantly having fun. This isn't about attitude or who's best, it's about who has the most fun. We are not above ribbing other teams, stirring up a "feud" (in fun) or creating artificial rivalries to make it a little more interesting, but at the end of the day, it's just a bunch of people playing army and IT'S A GAME! The lack of ego allows us the freedom to enjoy the game a bit more without taking ourselves or the game as serious others might. If we do ever get a reputation, we want it to be the guys who laugh the most, make the best jokes and who make the game the most fun. Anybody can just kill, we like to do it with a song in our hearts and a joke on our lips. Oh, we're still gonna kill you, but we will do it laughing with you... or AT you, take your pick.
